Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine
A shrine without walls where the King of Curses reigns supreme over endless slaughter.
Malevolent Shrine isn't just a Domain Expansion; it's the catastrophic exception that breaks the rules of jujutsu. While other domains trap victims in a surreal, guaranteed-hit nightmare, Sukuna's creation is a brutal, open-air slaughterhouse devoid of any enclosing barrier. Here the King of Curses floods the area with the slashes of his Shrine technique, Dismantle and Cleave.

Lore & Background
It unleashes slashes in every direction across 200 meters; in Shibuya, opened against the shikigami Mahoraga, it cut through everything within a 140-meter radius. The slashes are those of Sukuna's Shrine technique: Dismantle is a ranged slash and Cleave an adaptive melee attack.
Reader's Guide
Sukuna opens the Domain in Shibuya to overcome Mahoraga's ability to adapt, killing the curse user Haruta Shigemo and devastating the district. In Shinjuku he sets it against Satoru Gojo's Domain in repeated clashes, and Aoi Todo's Boogie Woogie later disrupts him enough to force him to deploy it again.
